THE WHEAT CROP.
A Generally Improved Outlook for
Winter Wheat.

CHICAGO, April 24.-Following is the
weekly crop summary of the Farmers Re-
view: Rains have materially improved
the crop conditions in Kansas, Missouri,
Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana. and par
ticularly has improved the outlook for WIN
ter wheat, while in Iowa, Nebraska and
Minnesota and Dakota, the seeding of the
spring wheat had proceeded under generally
favorable conditions in consequence of sea-
sonable rains. The average condition,
however, of winter wsfeat, except in Mis-
souri,, is falling generally below that of last
year. Very few counties of Ohio report the
prospect OF all average crop. In Trumbull,
Seneca, Putnam, Portage. Noble, Lake,
Knox and Fulton counties in Ohio the
prospective yield is estimated at from
45 to go per cent. of an average.
Crop averages fall considerably below the
estimates made at the same time one year
ago. In Indiana the percentages of the
condition range higher, and generally run
from S5 to 80 per cent of an average. In
Ford and Perry counties of Illinois the
prospect is not regarded as favorable for
more than half all average crop, but the
general averages of the state range from IS
to 95 per cent, the southern tier of counties

DAVID Preston DEAD.
The Famous Banker ProhibitiOnist
Dies at His Detroit Home.

DETROIT. Mich, April 24.-This morn
ing at o'clock David Preston. the banker,
died suddenly of heart disease. He was in
good health yesterday, but dropped dead
this morning soon after rising. Mr.. Pres
ton was born at Harmony. Chautauqua
county, N. Y, Sept 90. 1926. In 1s4S he
came to this city, where he has since re-
sided. In 1852, with capital OF $3.50, he
opened a banking house. which for over,
thirty years was conducted under the firm
name of David Preston & Co. About 4
year ago it was reorganized under the name
of the Preston bank. He is also member
of the Chicago firm OF Preston, Kean &
Co. The Chicago bank was not affected by
the panic of 1873 but the Detroit nstitu-
ton was compelled to close its doors tenn
pOrarily. However. all obligations were
met in full, and business was resumed.
Mr.. Preston is best known as leading
Methodist and prohibitionist. He has been
delegate to several general conferences of
the Methodist Episcopal church, and in
1881 was a delegate. to the Ecumenical
council at London, Eng Until 1854 he
was Republican, but that year he became

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Six Men Killed and Eighteen In.
jured i'm a Railway Collision.

AINswoRTH, W. T., Aprll 24.-The ac-
cident which occurred near McCallum, OIL
the Cascade division Of the Northern Pa
cific railroad, turns out to be quite serious.
1t seems that west bound train. pushing
a fiat car loaded with laborers. was going
around a curve leading to trestle at good
rate of speed, when it ran into hog engine
going east. The fiat car passed halfway
through the tender and crushed up against
the pilot Of the west-bound train, ON which
were two men. The unfortunates were
crushed to pulp, only foot and one hand
being left by which to identify them.
The hog engine was knocked eighty
feet. Five men were killed outright
and one has since died. The injured num-
bered eighteen. All of the physicians of
Ellensburg were Immediately sent to the
front by special train, and are rendering
every service possible. The scene of the
accident, as described by those present,
beggars description. Blood is scattered in
every direction. and the neighboring rocks
bear evidence of fearful carnage. The ac-
cident was the fault of one OF the trains
crew neglecting to flag as per orders. The
dead and injured were brought to Mccall
lum. The district attorney has gone to the
scene of the accident to make a thorough
examination and ascertain on whom the
blame rests. There is no coroner in Kitti-
tass county, so a jury will be mpaneled by
the nearest justice of the peace.
